17:10 I've been having this discussion a lot, and the way I see it is: if you are running Barcgal + Llew, there are only 2 situations for thoose cards to be valuable: Fetching Blaster Blade or triggering Blaster Blade (V) +1 Crit Skill. Since both situations are in super early game, you wont damage check any Llew, so you might as well run just 1. By Calling Barcgal to the side, you can Call 1-of Llew first to the other side, then a Flogal behind (V), this way you always cover both cases of Barcgal profitability. Even if the opponent snipes the Barcgal, you would have already taken out of the deck the +5000 Llew, have that card a booster ready (at least for early game) and keep your other +10k Flogals in your deck. Edit: 28:47 Bushiroad can actually adress it without ban, since it's approach to ban list is kind-of different from other card games, they could just say "You can't run Ichikishima and Silent Tom in the same deck" like the Jewel Knight restriction a few formats ago.
I don't agree it can address this without a ban. I think Ichikishima is inherently toxic for the premium format. It basically says "hey, those new draw pgs? yeah, forget about them". It shouldn't be a thing at all, so people actually get to make the interesting choices.
Solemn Vanguard imo still better than the clear shill for the new pgs in standard. It limits the choice of triggers, which should be the most flexible part to change the deck's playstyle. The combo is a problem tho and should definetly get adressed. Then again, so should other decks that are insanely powerful atm. Also, yeah, just run one single llew and fetch him immediately and you can always do that before they can pick off your starter.
@Solemn Vanguard I would suggest 2 lien and two draw pg is because of taction marron which has the same skill as star hope and will open up g2 space for unit such as spirits or tarna.
@SolemnVanguard Have you considered running Swordsman of Light Blaster Javelin over Trumpeter? It saves you counterblasts and gets you two Flogal instead of one. The cost is slightly higher, however it can replenish soul for PG's, Marron etc. Really enjoyed the longer, more in-depth video by the way.
Tarna is used to chain up the imaginary gifts so that next turn when you stride your gancelot isnt only 28k but 38k because you’ll put an imaginary gift marker on your vanguard while the other force markers are on blaster blades which mean when you quad drive check using gancelot you’ll start stacking up the power of blaster blade with the new triggers making blaster blade reach 40k on itself if you can play smart
Wait solemn blaster friend barcgal only get the counter change when you call blaster blade in the same column that is easy but you need to have a blaster vanguard and if Alfred is your ride target and none of your grade 4 is a blaster how can you activate it I am really confused
Solemn Vanguard do you think Bushiroad will do some god units like zeroth dragons and gyze ????? And if you think so, are you interested to see it ????
Solemn! Im new to your subs. Im a Aqua Force maniac veteran since 2014 on limit break era. Im trying get into the game again. And im mostly playing Blue wave; but i think thavas and some the new stuff going to be powerful in Premium.
You really should run the Alfred dragon stride that lets you unlock you're board if your heart is an Alfred. Otherwise you just get destroyed by link joker. I know it may not seem prevalent but chaos is a pretty solid option in the format considering it can deal with the ichkishima tom turn and with this deck (if there are no unlocking dragons) which are the two most prevalent decks that are supported by the new format.
I still run Barcgal in order to provide the soul for the V version of Soul Saver Dragon. And Tarna is more valuable to run because you want to get your imaginary gifts out very early in the game in order to be hitting that base power, especially when you start first since the opponent cannot use a G-guardian on Grade 2 and forcing them to use the V trigger shields can hurt them later in the game.
Since fetching out floral paladin is essential, why not run blaster javelin? l have been using it for a while and it helps by searching out 2 high beasts since it can also be easily called out with llew and altmile.
Glyme doesn't do the job, he only draws you an extra card, not really consistent as the other choices. Then again it's still an okay choice if you want space on the triggers and have very few Blast cards. But like I said, it's not really built for the job
Hey i need some advice on the Force Markers for a Kagero Overlord standard deck: With your 2nd force, would you either give it to a rearguard or to the vanguard again? Or simply stack them all of the vanguard
Ari Gato Kagero always on Vanguard. Kagero is about overwhelming with massive vg pressure, rears are just for retire and extra attacks and nothing more. u eventually want overlord/waterfall to be hitting 50k or more and put your opponent in a bad spot.
The discussion at locals this week was that the black caravan markers aren't legal at regionals (or any level 2+ tournaments) since they don't have enough card text on them
Wrestling With Gaming the original God Cards were officially released by Konami, but they aren't legal. Also, the black markers are not listed in the database on either of the websites (EN and JP) and have no set/ID number on them
Wrestling With Gaming update: they're legal according to Bushiroad, however it's probably still a good idea to bring the other ones to level 2 and above tournaments just in case the judges don't agree
Barcgal is mainly used to call out free 5k boosters/attackers. It is used to superior ride blaster blade when gradestuck, but not as primary strategy imo
I understand that, but the first time it's used, you're also losing a booster from it and every time you use it, you're minusing your deck from crits, which are inherently necessary for the deck to do anything at all.
I think of barcgal as rearguard call. My fav cards were akane, swordmy, benon as I value booster calling a lot. My barcgal strategy is similar to original king of knights alfred/palamedes deck. Use it to call 2 free flogals and thats it. yes you pull triggers out, but its the same as if they were the bottom two cards on deck where you wouldn't see it and instead you get 2 free units just by running barcgal. flogals helps with early game rush for more pressure during stride turn. My barcgal trigger lineup would only run 2 llews as you will not likely dmg check both llews after opp first turn and its only used then for misride. i appreciate your content a lot.
I dont run the llew barcgal combo because I run wingal youth and charge in with youth for the first damage which no one giards which makes it activate its skill to fetch up blaster blade
The problem with blaster friend barkgal is that you need a blaster vanguard too... so it doesnt wok that well... also... what about little tactician, marron? She has pretty much the same skill as star hope trumpeter, the diference is that she is a g1
That definitely works :) My main problem with Marron right now is that given the current premium format, loads of decks with 11k vanguards are still viable, meaning the column you create off Trumpeter still has value. As boosters come out and the premium format becomes very 12/13k-heavy, I would definitely consider cutting a Barcgal for a Marron.
i would like to give a comment about your starter choice. its a battle of "would you want your opponent to waste resources to kill a barcgal or get a "chance" to ride Bargal swing and hope it will hit. if you were facing lets say a kagero. 70% of the time, he will have a 8k VG therefor hitting on turn 1 would be 10k guard no pass but since you run the new triggers he could just drop 15k guard (new triggers). either way its guardable. its like this have your opponent take DMG get resource to kill barcgal / Have your opponent not take dmg but gets to guard twice / that the best case scenario. 1 is more predictable that your barcgal is gonna die or rely on chance to get a blaster VG and have it hit. if i were to play it i would choose the predictable route so i know what to expect than rely on chance before i make a plausible move base on my opponents guarding and since you said that you need to "rush" i dont think taking no DMG before you even bring out the force and Blaster blade is not the way to go i mean IDK haven't played with you so i dont exactly know how "you" rush since players have a different set of rush mechanics.
Barcgal would only make you run 1 Llew. Running 2+ is crazy. Its the fist thing you call. (Way before your opponent can snipe Barcgal). Then 2nd turn you call Flogal. Llew can't be damaged on your first turn and if you draw into it you still have access to it. So If people run Llew you can easily just run 1 and 3 New Epona crits.
Huh, you might be right, but I am now not so sure. I found something very important... i found this “11.10.3. The number written in the Seek Mate icon is the sum of the power that is written on the cards of the Legion Leader and Legion Mate that are attacking.” Dose that mean said blaster blade need to have 9k power? Uhhh
Blaster Friend Barcgal only counter charges when you have a Blaster Vanguard, so once you hit Grade 3 most likely it becomes a 7k vanilla. I wouldn't run 4 copies of it, honestly.
I definitely understand that, but I find I heavily rely on early game shenanigans and Llew. I do consider going down to 3. Also: the value Llew creates can not be overstated.
Why run Lew instead of Ahmes? Lew requires you to commit a flogal or a blaster friend barcgal to the field along with the Lew. Blaster friend barcgal is a bad card when you aren't often running a blaster vanguard, so why run it when you can run a new grade 1 that's a 10k guard. Granted, Ahmes does have to hit, but if it hits, suddenly a blaster blade pops out of deck onto that same circle with the intense force marker stacking.
you usually wouldn't be calling blaster blade on its own without some form of guaranteed multiattack to support it anyways, and llew is also faster and guaranteed to work, so requiring barcgal or flogal is kinda irrelevant when the payoff is so much better than the price. Not only this, but Llew also gives blaster blade power, meaning it can then swing on its own. Llew's scariest feature is the fact that it's an early game multiattack, so it's able to provide early pressure to either get high damage out or to kill the opponent's hand, while ahmes requires an alfred vanguard so it isn't nearly as fast. In addition, onhit abilities are pretty bad unless they are absolutely insane anyways, and ahmes's onhit isn't nearly worth being an 11k beatstick the rest of the time.
Full Throttle that's some very fair points. I think the fact that it is an on-hit applies a lot of guard pressure for the opponent. Someone may be more willing to guard the 30,000 power ahmes to prevent a blaster blade from popping out of the deck, whereas instead they would have just taken the Lew damage. I'll just have to play test it a bit and see which one I like more, and which one does what I need it to do more.
- Committing Blaster Friend early is all you wanna do since you get Barcgal's value early. I wouldn't run some random grade 1 with 10k guard JUST for the 10k guard. It needs to perform some function first as well. - On hits are generally also bad. Good opponents can play around on-hits too easily.
Solemn Vanguard That's very fair. I still don't think that on hits are necessarily useless. I think the danger of pulling a blaster blade out of the deck could cause an opponent to guard an attack they normally would take. Which doesn't pull blaster blade out of the deck, but what about stand triggers that people play in premium? It's a gamble, but what isn't a gamble is that while ahmes is on the field, players will be more prone to targeting him to make sure blaster blade can't pop out, or they're stuck constantly guarding his attacks. I think there's enough potential mind games (only with a double stack force trigger making that column an insane plus 20,000 power) that there's some missed opportunity calling ahmes bad, purely because it's an on hit. With this being said, I can totally understand the consistency of running Lew and barcgal. I could just be projecting what I want to happen, but I think it has some good potential. Edit: thanks for the responses and cool card theory! Also, keep up the awesome content Solemn Vanguard!
I definitely understand where you're coming from and as I said in the video: go wild with your own ideas :D The awesome thing about premium is that you have an insanely massive card pool to experiment with. Thank you! ;D
Edited.More likely like this~ BTW Laurosse, OG Barcgal (Yay! unrestricted) and Packgal is need to be added in honorable mentions if OTK went wrong and for late game.
Haha but considering that English Version of Bushiroad is from Singapore in my country don't know if you notice the English trial deck behind they will state a address if you saw the address is from Singapore. for the products.
In my deck. I play 4 gred 3 llew and 2 of the sb pg and 2 td pg as i use marron as a g guard. And I suggest that u might put that 5k gred 1, on place sb2 and cc2. I run 2 of those.
17:10 I've been having this discussion a lot, and the way I see it is: if you are running Barcgal + Llew, there are only 2 situations for thoose cards to be valuable: Fetching Blaster Blade or triggering Blaster Blade (V) +1 Crit Skill.

It shouldn't be a thing at all, so people actually get to make the interesting choices.
Ohhh, you're right, I get it now. I didn't saw it in the way it restricts deck build choices for other players.
Solemn Vanguard imo still better than the clear shill for the new pgs in standard. It limits the choice of triggers, which should be the most flexible part to change the deck's playstyle. The combo is a problem tho and should definetly get adressed. Then again, so should other decks that are insanely powerful atm.

@Solemn Vanguard I would suggest 2 lien and two draw pg is because of taction marron which has the same skill as star hope and will open up g2 space for unit such as spirits or tarna.
Royal paladin have 0 plussing. So how can u run no draws?
Any chance of an updated deck profile of this deck ?
@SolemnVanguard Have you considered running Swordsman of Light Blaster Javelin over Trumpeter? It saves you counterblasts and gets you two Flogal instead of one. The cost is slightly higher, however it can replenish soul for PG's, Marron etc.
Really enjoyed the longer, more in-depth video by the way.
Tarna is used to chain up the imaginary gifts so that next turn when you stride your gancelot isnt only 28k but 38k because you’ll put an imaginary gift marker on your vanguard while the other force markers are on blaster blades which mean when you quad drive check using gancelot you’ll start stacking up the power of blaster blade with the new triggers making blaster blade reach 40k on itself if you can play smart
would it be possible to do an update on blasters for all formats. I would love to come back to vanguard and want to know more regarding standard
Wait solemn blaster friend barcgal only get the counter change when you call blaster blade in the same column that is easy but you need to have a blaster vanguard and if Alfred is your ride target and none of your grade 4 is a blaster how can you activate it I am really confused
im hyped to see gancelot and blaster blade grade 3 including new grade 3 units for royal paladin XD
we'll see :P
Solemn Vanguard do you think Bushiroad will do some god units like zeroth dragons and gyze ?????
And if you think so, are you interested to see it ????
Solemn! Im new to your subs. Im a Aqua Force maniac veteran since 2014 on limit break era. Im trying get into the game again. And im mostly playing Blue wave; but i think thavas and some the new stuff going to be powerful in Premium.
You really should run the Alfred dragon stride that lets you unlock you're board if your heart is an Alfred. Otherwise you just get destroyed by link joker.

And Tarna is more valuable to run because you want to get your imaginary gifts out very early in the game in order to be hitting that base power, especially when you start first since the opponent cannot use a G-guardian on Grade 2 and forcing them to use the V trigger shields can hurt them later in the game.
Since fetching out floral paladin is essential, why not run blaster javelin? l have been using it for a while and it helps by searching out 2 high beasts since it can also be easily called out with llew and altmile.
Neat deck homie 👌👌 "yeet"
Also, another Vanguard starter option is elron, the sage in the comic booster.
I love it!
Thanks man :D
Is it a bad idea to run a couple of stand trigger to restand bb?
Hi world champion?
Why not run the grade zero starter that works with Alfred from the comic booster?
Definitely could! It's a better option than the legend deck piece of shit hahaha
Solemn Vanguard are the swordsman of light units good for Alfred now
Lol I was about to suggest the same starter. It works better in my playtesting so far.
I’ll run glyme the new one because you need it to search up blaster blades
Glyme doesn't do the job, he only draws you an extra card, not really consistent as the other choices. Then again it's still an okay choice if you want space on the triggers and have very few Blast cards. But like I said, it's not really built for the job
@ solemn vanguard why don’t run thing saver dragon ?
awesome vid man i think im going to use this deck
Hey solem did you no that nociel gyze has been switch to c.e.o. Gyze
Hey i need some advice on the Force Markers for a Kagero Overlord standard deck:
With your 2nd force, would you either give it to a rearguard or to the vanguard again?

Sir Maxime, I recommend removing spirit for miss trumpeter. This is my opinion though but it is good to consider.
The discussion at locals this week was that the black caravan markers aren't legal at regionals (or any level 2+ tournaments) since they don't have enough card text on them
That's wrong. they are legal
Wrestling With Gaming the original God Cards were officially released by Konami, but they aren't legal. Also, the black markers are not listed in the database on either of the websites (EN and JP) and have no set/ID number on them
Wrestling With Gaming still sticking by the "no numbering" thing (have since sent an email to Bushiroad, will update when I get a response)
Wrestling With Gaming update: they're legal according to Bushiroad, however it's probably still a good idea to bring the other ones to level 2 and above tournaments just in case the judges don't agree

My barcgal trigger lineup would only run 2 llews as you will not likely dmg check both llews after opp first turn and its only used then for misride. i appreciate your content a lot.
How many markers do u need in a deck?
Will you do an Overlord version of this? If you do, Mine will just be different.
And 4 lien i think you should bringing 2 or 1 lien and 2 or 3 normal perfect guard because you can use g guard marron to call one normal perfect guard
Once the Vr KoK Alfred comes out, would you consider Blaster Rapier?
Are there online sites where you can play Vangaurd?
I dont run the llew barcgal combo because I run wingal youth and charge in with youth for the first damage which no one giards which makes it activate its skill to fetch up blaster blade
The problem with blaster friend barkgal is that you need a blaster vanguard too... so it doesnt wok that well... also... what about little tactician, marron? She has pretty much the same skill as star hope trumpeter, the diference is that she is a g1

As boosters come out and the premium format becomes very 12/13k-heavy, I would definitely consider cutting a Barcgal for a Marron.
Its really cb heavy, and u need to ensure that you win at first stride... so can you make a guide video on how to pilot the deck?
What about the guard-restrict Fides?
Well blaster blade new skill quite nice for the extra crit
Me personally I'm building a majesty Lord blaster primium deck
And a royals standered deck
don't u have problems with countercharge if alfred is your main g3
I like the Star Hope, I've been testing that in my premium build for MLB. She helps too much to not run
Yup! Too good. Already added 2 haha
is good to run 4x alfred counter charge critical trigger and eluron for start vg?
More old triggers hurt the deck
can you superior call spirit from early?
also can you run both the 9 and 10 k bblade?
You can't call spirit from Early.
You can't run both Blaster Blades.
thanks solemn senpai
also how does ztb survive now that they only have 5k triggers?
For G-units, I think holy squire should be ran for link joker match up
Any ways to counter Blasters, regardless of the clan
Are you gonna build decks for standard?
Why not use the Alfred starter from the vanguard and deleterious set
Definitely could :D
Have you tried a thing saver varient?
I don't really see a point. I feel like the whole thing saver idea right now is mostly people who desperately want their favorite unit to work.
you are such a good youtuber
Appreciated :)
i would like to give a comment about your starter choice.
its a battle of "would you want your opponent to waste resources to kill a barcgal or get a "chance" to ride Bargal swing and hope it will hit.
if you were facing lets say a kagero. 70% of the time, he will have a 8k VG therefor hitting on turn 1 would be 10k guard no pass but since you run the new triggers he could just drop 15k guard (new triggers). either way its guardable. its like this
have your opponent take DMG get resource to kill barcgal / Have your opponent not take dmg but gets to guard twice / that the best case scenario.
1 is more predictable that your barcgal is gonna die or rely on chance to get a blaster VG and have it hit. if i were to play it i would choose the predictable route so i know what to expect than rely on chance before i make a plausible move base on my opponents guarding and since you said that you need to "rush" i dont think taking no DMG before you even bring out the force and Blaster blade is not the way to go i mean IDK haven't played with you so i dont exactly know how "you" rush since players have a different set of rush mechanics.
Blaster friend CC only works if your VG is Blasters so if your main g3 is Alfred Early u should cut the Blaster Friend
does the force still activate if you reride blaster blade??
Blaster Blade? Reride? BB doesn't have force?
Solemn Vanguard i think he meant is the marker power still count or works if ur vg is not a force marker vg.
you can nearly open up a salt mine everytime you say "ichy-tom" XD
If you want to fetch Flogals, why don't you test out Blaster Javelin, Larouse?
How about td starter?
Barcgal would only make you run 1 Llew. Running 2+ is crazy. Its the fist thing you call. (Way before your opponent can snipe Barcgal). Then 2nd turn you call Flogal.
Llew can't be damaged on your first turn and if you draw into it you still have access to it. So If people run Llew you can easily just run 1 and 3 New Epona crits.
Solemn Vanguard
Run 4 wave sage thana,and for starter run SIGNPOST SAGE ELURON AND 8 ALFREDS WITH FORCE MARKERS
This is the English game. There are no 8 Alfreds with force markers. I do like that forerunner.
Oh yes English. Also I run 2 blaster javelin larousse -2 FROM HAND +2 flogal triggerS and gg
If your not gonna use barcgal,flogal,llew g0 combo then you should run four floral paladin flogal, four flogal(new), two epona(new), two scion rider
Just getting in to vanguard is a blaster deck easy to use
SoulDragon11 one of the easiest
A Nerd With Trading Cards thanks I am really looking forward to get in to this game and I have always like the blasters
The Tarnas is like Wonder Ezel. Except Gold Paladin is Accel.
alfred never never got a stride break or blaster blade exceed.
Sweet deck profile.
RiP Stand Triggers, press F to pay respects
Painter Is good? UA-cam can counter charge and soul +1.

Can the Alfred legion with the new blaster blade
Genji Main yes
i thought it was no. am i crazy? *looks it up later*
ImParaTripin Since it is named Blaster Blade you can since Alfred exiv can legion with Blaster Blade and Blaster Blade seeker
Even ezer and new king of knights too can And crimson and the new vermilion can too
Huh, you might be right, but I am now not so sure. I found something very important... i found this “11.10.3. The number written in the Seek Mate icon is the sum of the power that is written on
the cards of the Legion Leader and Legion Mate that are attacking.” Dose that mean said blaster blade need to have 9k power? Uhhh
Bro also look at the fact that the new Blaster Blade gets an additional Critical for damage
Truth82189 only on vg
Right with the build it shouldn't be hard to get to B blade in turn one
Notification Squad!!!!!!!!
Yassssss
Blaster Friend Barcgal only counter charges when you have a Blaster Vanguard, so once you hit Grade 3 most likely it becomes a 7k vanilla.
I wouldn't run 4 copies of it, honestly.
I definitely understand that, but I find I heavily rely on early game shenanigans and Llew. I do consider going down to 3. Also: the value Llew creates can not be overstated.
Looks like im playing shadow or kagero till the narukami hits standard
Sv this deck is good but too situational and resource heavy eh I'll wait for shadow paladins or narukami
So Tarna’s like godly in Standard? (Please answer)
Tarna isn't allowed in standard
Solemn Vanguard I guess he meant in Premium?
SutekiSenpai Yea, sorry
Why run Lew instead of Ahmes? Lew requires you to commit a flogal or a blaster friend barcgal to the field along with the Lew. Blaster friend barcgal is a bad card when you aren't often running a blaster vanguard, so why run it when you can run a new grade 1 that's a 10k guard.

With this being said, I can totally understand the consistency of running Lew and barcgal.
I could just be projecting what I want to happen, but I think it has some good potential.
Edit: thanks for the responses and cool card theory! Also, keep up the awesome content Solemn Vanguard!
I definitely understand where you're coming from and as I said in the video: go wild with your own ideas :D The awesome thing about premium is that you have an insanely massive card pool to experiment with.
Thank you! ;D

CRITS FOR DAYS
Playing 1 Llew is fine tho xD since u search for it with barcgal xD
Royals will never get good support from bushi. Its a sad reality
bargal is more useful in SSD deck than Alfred deck
You just end the game with floral on a blaster blade with extra crit
That's not how it works. His extra crit only works on V.
If this got comment or got pinned, I will tell you a secret.
*whisper*
RIDE. TARNA. RIDE. TARNA TILL U DEAD AND RESTAND BB WITH FLOGALS.
Where are your 3 flogal coming from exactly? With only 2 drive checks every turn, it's unlikely you dig through the deck at all.
Edited.More likely like this~
BTW Laurosse, OG Barcgal (Yay! unrestricted) and Packgal is need to be added in honorable mentions if OTK went wrong and for late game.
Lol monarch is here
Ishi-tom combo should be banned on premium
0 views 1st like 1st comment seems legit.

+Solemn Vanguard nice deck profile by the way can't wait for the Leon trial deck to come out on 20 July getting the Japanese version.

Haha but considering that English Version of Bushiroad is from Singapore in my country don't know if you notice the English trial deck behind they will state a address if you saw the address is from Singapore. for the products.
